I am loving Arnold. Arnold is ‘a sleepy fellow who will sit and hold your door open for hours on end! He’s really too exhausted to do anything else!‘ He’s made of felt, has been weighted down with an unknown non perishable material and looks fab! I want one. £25 from Not on the High Street.

Check this out! How cool, how unique! This hand-made oak iPad stand is the perfect antidote to high tech living. Crafted from recycled London wood, each one has a hand-carved recess to fit a charger lead, so the stand doubles as a charging doc. Hand-cut, hand-finished and hand-some. A lovely way to display the iPad when it is being used as a TV, photo album, even alarm clock! A thoughtful, practical, beautiful gift for anyone with an iPad. Exclusively available at Twisted Twee for £35.

I snapped up a Jolie Table Lamp a little while ago, and now it seems they’ve added more colours to the collection. I am not surprised -they look fab and are a steal at £35 from John Lewis. You can get a great hot pink, what looks to be a mustard yellow and a sage green. Surely something for everyone!

We’re mega fans of Anorak, the cool Brit brand by Laurie Robertson with prints inspired by a childhood spent in the countryside and seaside. Her Kissing Animal’s prints are well known and are gracing kids beanbags as well as her seagulls print from last year’s ropes and boats collection. Available from next week, they’re £95 each.

If you’re looking for something to spice up the garden, head on over to B&Q and treat yourself to a Hawaii Deck Chair. It’s hardwood, FSC of course, with a great polyester seat. The colours are simply lovely, and it’s just £29.99. Click click.

With the boyf being a techie and me having my geeky ways, these floppy disc sticky notes by SUCK UK are a cool nostalgic buy. And to think we used to be dependent on these things, carrying them around in our bags and getting the metal bit caught on our keys. Or was that just me? £7.50 for a pack of 3 50 sheet pads at Colloco

Aren’t these Pleciaki Storage Stools fabulous little find! These functional storage stools are ideal for stashing all your stuff away – yeah okay, could be toys, but we all own ‘junk drawers’, or a drawer full of cables and what have you …. (please don’t let on if it’s just me!), and if you’re a knitter, these would be brilliant to store your bundles of wool in.
The design is polished inspired – as is everything on the Beetroot website - but they’re made of old newspapers, so they’re ecological too. The cushioned seats are folk inspired. I am a fan. They cost £95 each.

For me, this is what dreams are made of. If my budget allowed it, I would scrap my make do but much loved Ikea ensemble, and snap up this beauty instead. It’s typically Ercol in design. It has a few spots and blemishes but that’s what you get when you’re buying vintage furniture, and I think these just add to the character of the piece. It’s £595 from Winter’s Moon. Swoooon!
